A Starfleet Academy library computer image of an Andorian Mining Consortium operation.
The Andorian Mining Consortium (AMC) was a chartered Federation mining operation. Originally a minor player in the developing of raw materials, they completed the research and development of the Atlas Project. (TOS video game: 25th Anniversary)
History and specifics[]
Late in the year 2153, while assisting Jonathan Archer in capturing the Xindi superweapon, Hravishran th'Zoarhi posed to the Xindi as a scout of the AMC, searching for "archerite". (ENT episode: "Proving Ground")
By the 23rd century it had become Federation's third largest private corporation and had extensive mining operations on asteroids and class M planets such as Castus.
Their practices were questioned by planetary ecologists who pressed for investigation. (TOS video game: 25th Anniversary)
Appendices[]
Background[]
The AMC had been mentioned only as an obscure background element in the 1992 video game 25th Anniversary. Since it does not affect the game plot, it is not necessary for the player to know about the AMC to play or finish the game. It was some years later when the AMC was referenced in canon in Star Trek: Enterprise.
